Homo heidelbergensis (also H. erectus heidelbergensis, H. sapiens heidelbergensis) is an extinct species or subspecies of archaic human which existed during the Middle Pleistocene. (wikipedia.org)
In the 1950s, Ernst Mayr had entered the field of anthropology, and, surveying a "bewildering diversity of names," decided to define only three species of Homo: "H. transvaalensis" (the australopithecines), H. erectus (including the Mauer mandible, and various putative African and Asian taxa) and Homo sapiens (including anything younger than H. erectus, such as modern humans and Neanderthals). (wikipedia.org)
By today's standards, it was very slow, but by the standards of Homo erectus it was lightning-fast. (fee.org)
In it, he makes the case that the ability to harness fire and cook food allowed the brain to grow and the digestive tract to shrink, giving rise to our ancestor Homo erectus some 1.8 million years ago. (harvard.edu)
Wrangham looked to biological evidence, which shows that around 1.8 million years ago, Homo erectus arose with larger brains and bodies and smaller guts, jaws, and teeth - changes consistent with the switch to a more tender and energetically rich diet of cooked food. (harvard.edu)
It's hard to imagine the leap to Homo erectus without cooking's nutritional benefits. (harvard.edu)
While others have posited that meat-eating enabled the rise of Homo erectus some 1.8 million years ago, Wrangham says those theories don't mesh with that species' smaller jaws and teeth. (harvard.edu)
The researchers found that the hobbit's primitive dental features are most similar to specimens of Homo erectus , the earliest undisputed ancestor of modern humans, from the Indonesian island of Java. (scientificamerican.com)
Homo Erectus: Why Did the Most Successful Early Human Go Extinct? (ancient-origins.net)
Homo erectus , the remarkably successful early human species, emerged around two million years ago in Africa. (ancient-origins.net)
With a brain size of 900 to 1000 cubic centimeters, Homo erectus showcased the first modern human-like body plan and a capacity for social cooperation. (ancient-origins.net)
Around 100,000 years ago, Homo erectus was still thriving in Indonesia. (ancient-origins.net)
The discovery of Homo floresiensis , a smaller-brained hominin on the Indonesian island of Flores , has sparked theories that Homo erectus may have migrated to isolated islands and faced extinction due to genetic isolation. (ancient-origins.net)
Despite the uncertainty surrounding their demise, Homo erectus remains an essential milestone in human evolution. (ancient-origins.net)
The story of Homo erectus continues to captivate researchers, inviting us to ponder their enigmatic legacy. (ancient-origins.net)

While they first appeared on the lowland savannas of East Africa around two million years ago, the human ancestor Homo erectus soon expanded their range into the Ethiopian highlands. (ancient-origins.net)
One of the watershed moments in the evolution of 'human' or ' Homo ' history is when the first hominids descended from the trees to achieve bipedal locomotion ( Homo erectus ), causing a separation. (ancient-origins.net)
Homo erectus, or Homo cordon-bleuensis? (thenakedscientists.com)
Intriguingly, delving back about 2 million years into the hominid fossil record to the time of Homo erectus, we see similarly shrunken molar teeth like our own beginning to appear and being carried into Neanderthals too. (thenakedscientists.com)
Preserved in post-Flood sediments older than any Neanderthals and Hobbits are Homo erectus fossils. (answersingenesis.org)
3 Aside from the skull, Homo erectus skeletons are virtually indistinguishable from modern humans, so the evidence indicates they are human. (answersingenesis.org)
And, since humans did not disperse across the world until after Babel, the distribution of Homo erectus across the Old World (Java, China, Africa) suggests they not only date from after the Flood, they also date from after Babel. (answersingenesis.org)
Homo erectus is thus not only the oldest human fossil we have following Babel but the only human fossil for some time after Babel. (answersingenesis.org)
From this we infer that the Homo erectus form is probably what humans looked like at the time of Babel. (answersingenesis.org)
Rather, they seem to be descended from an earlier hominid - Homo erectus - a different species entirely, which migrated from Africa to Asia more than 1 million years ago. (beliefnet.com)
Archaeologists had previously unearthed tools left by Homo erectus on Flores more than 800,000 years ago, and they hypothesize that descendants of these early settlers evolved a form of extreme dwarfism in response to geographical isolation and poor food supply on the island. (beliefnet.com)
Original fossils of Pithecanthropus erectus (now Homo erectus) found in Java in 1891. (lilyrozestudios.com)
30], Since its discovery in 1893 (Java man), there has been a trend in palaeoanthropology of reducing the number of proposed species of Homo, to the point where H. erectus includes all early (Lower Paleolithic) forms of Homo sufficiently derived from H. habilis and Yes, they are all squats, but they have subtle differences and you dont want to carry over everything between them. (lilyrozestudios.com)
35] However, a 2015 study suggested that H. georgicus represents an earlier, more primitive species of Homo derived from an older dispersal of hominins from Africa, with H. ergaster/erectus possibly deriving from a later dispersal. (lilyrozestudios.com)
Cranial Vault Thickness in Primates: Homo Erectus Does Not Have Uniquely Thick Vault Bones. (lilyrozestudios.com)
144], New evidence has shown that Homo erectus does not have uniquely thick vault bones, as was previously thought. (lilyrozestudios.com)
Its anatomy is argued to be a peculiar mix of features normally found in living humans, Homo erectus , the Hobbit ( Homo floresiensis ) and Australopithecus . (org.in)
and (b) the claim that a gradual progression in brain size exists from australopiths to Homo erectus to Neanderthals to us, indicating a gradual progression in intelligence, which fits the evolutionary story. (uniqueoriginresearch.org)
The fossil skulls of Homo erectus , the earliest fossil judged to be "human," exhibit a range in skull size also (but see Casey Luskin's post on Homo habilis ). (uniqueoriginresearch.org)

A cast of the Homo floresiensis skull. (scientificamerican.com)
Since then, scientists have suggested that the hobbit, which had a brain about the size of a grapefruit, was a unique branch of the human lineage Homo , dubbed Homo floresiensis . (scientificamerican.com)
For example, in Europe are found Neanderthals ( neanderthalensis ) with larger brains than modern humans, and in Indonesia are found "hobbits" ( floresiensis ) with smaller bodies and brains than any modern human. (answersingenesis.org)
Although the researchers have not yet been successful in sequencing DNA from the fossils, anatomical features strongly suggest that the hobbits, whose scientific name is Homo floresiensis, are not a subspecies of Homo sapiens (which left Africa about 120,000 years ago). (beliefnet.com)
The newly reported species of human - Homo floresiensis - seemed to have survived until just 18,000 years ago on Flores, a far-flung island in eastern Indonesia. (econintersect.com)
Bones are rarely preserved as fossils, so we hit pay dirt when the partial skeleton of LB1 - the abbreviation for Liang Bua 1, the type specimen of Homo floresiensis - was uncovered at the bottom of a six-metre pit dug by archaeologists from the National Centre for Archaeology in Jakarta. (econintersect.com)
Well, as it turns out, this is precisely the situation with the diminutive Homo floresiensis from Flores in eastern Indonesia, most recently dated between 60,000 and 100,000 years old. (org.in)

Instead, he claims meat enabled the shift from australopithecines to Homo habilis - a species about the size of a chimp, but with a bigger brain - more than half a million years earlier. (harvard.edu)
The researchers compared the 40 known hobbit teeth with those from 490 modern humans from Asia, Oceania, Africa and Europe, as well as from a variety of extinct hominins, such as Homo habilis , which is suspected to be among the first makers of stone tools. (scientificamerican.com)
The teeth are described as similar to those of the previously earliest-known members of our genus, such as Homo habilis , as are most features of the skull. (universityworldnews.com)
GAVIN THOMAS These intermediate species between the australopithecus and modern from the settings and homo habilis would be number two. (lilyrozestudios.com)

New evidence from a cave in South Africa suggests Homo naledi , a distant human ancestor, was more complex than previously thought. (gizmodo.com)
A team of paleoanthropologists has discovered evidence that the extinct human relative Homo naledi not only intentionally buried their dead, but also used symbols, perhaps for mortuary reasons. (gizmodo.com)
Other hominin species- most notably Neanderthals -also buried their dead, but the superlative age of the Homo naledi burials is sure to turn heads. (gizmodo.com)
A reconstruction of Homo naledi by paleoartist John Gurche. (gizmodo.com)
Homo naledi had human-like teeth, a body built for climbing, and a small brain, clocking in at about one-third the size of our brains. (gizmodo.com)
These recent findings suggest intentional burials, the use of symbols, and meaning-making activities by Homo naledi . (gizmodo.com)
An artist's reconstruction of an adult Homo naledi found in the cave's Dinaledi Chamber. (gizmodo.com)
The Homo naledi fossils were found in multiple chambers of the Rising Star system, which extends at least 984 feet (300 meters) underground. (gizmodo.com)
Discovery of the new species, dubbed Homo naledi , was announced on Thursday by an international group of more than 60 academics and scientists from a dozen different countries, including some from the Croatian Natural History Museum and Nazarbayev University in Kazakhstan. (universityworldnews.com)
Berger said Homo naledi was a reference to the cave where the bones were found - the Rising Star cave system at the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage site in South Africa: 'naledi' means 'star' in the local South African Sesotho language. (universityworldnews.com)
With almost every bone in the body represented multiple times, Homo naledi is already practically the best-known fossil member of our lineage," Berger said. (universityworldnews.com)
According to the eLife paper, Homo naledi had a tiny brain about the size of an orange perched atop a very slender body that stood about 1.5 metres tall and weighed some 45 kilograms. (universityworldnews.com)
In reading the coverage of Homo naledi , as the species is called now, it seems clear to me that the spin put on the actual bones depends on the assumptions of the writers. (uniqueoriginresearch.org)
H. naledi had a small brain compared to ours, about the size of a chimpanzee's. (uniqueoriginresearch.org)
William] Jungers, [chair of the department of anatomical sciences at Stony Brook University], doesn't dispute that the H. naledi bones belong in the genus Homo and were likely deposited deliberately, but he cautions against "trying to argue for complex social organization and symbolic behaviors. (uniqueoriginresearch.org)
Until scientists can know the approximate age of the Homo naledi fossils, Jungers says they are "more curiosities than game changers. (uniqueoriginresearch.org)

These results challenge the functional interpretation of postcanine reduction and symphyseal changes in the genus Homo. (ljmu.ac.uk)
Biologists often remark that Homo sapiens is unusual in being the only extant representative of its genus. (beliefnet.com)
Ontogenetic scaling of the human nose in a longitudinal sample: implications for genus Homo facial evolution. (anthropogeny.org)
Relative priority and timing of these critical processes in the evolution of the human brain - size increase and cortical reorganisation - have been debated since the discovery of the genus Australopithecus early in the 20th century [1] . (esrf.fr)
The consensus opinion is that an australopith species gave rise to our own genus, Homo , between 2.3 and 1.8 million years ago. (esrf.fr)
Members of Australopithecus were among the earliest hominins who gave rise to the human genus Homo . (org.in)
To add further to the mystery, these fossils may be anywhere from 1 to 3 million years old, potentially making them among the oldest fossils identified as being of our genus Homo . (uniqueoriginresearch.org)

This perspective assumes that differences in dental size and mandibular robusticity in hominins represent functional dissimilarities. (ljmu.ac.uk)
A sample of extant catarrhines and fossil hominins was used to test for correlations between dental size, mandibular robusticity, and dietary proxies, the latter include diet quality, diet heterogeneity, feeding time, and microwear variables. (ljmu.ac.uk)
The study offers insights into the evolution of hominins including Homo sapiens . (sciencedaily.com)

Since the fragile fossil was embedded in matrix and far exceeded the maximum imaging size for a rock sample at the ESRF, we used a complex acquisition protocol on beamline ID17 that was developed for high quality imaging of large fossils. (esrf.fr)
Not everyone wants to find evidence of human intelligence and care for the dead in fossils so old or in brain sizes so small, and not everyone likes Lee Berger. (uniqueoriginresearch.org)

He argues that this is what gave homo sapiens a decisive competitive advantage over our distant cousins, who in some cases actually had bigger brains than us. (fee.org)
The scientists suggest that on isolated islands, the ancestors of the hobbit underwent dramatic dwarfism, with their bodies shrinking from about 5.4 feet (1.65 m) to 3.6 feet (1.1 m), and brains dwindling from about 52 cubic inches (860 cubic centimeters) to 26 cubic inches (426 cubic cm). (scientificamerican.com)
While the human lineage generally evolved larger bodies and brains over time, the hobbit suggests that isolation on islands could substantially reverse this evolutionary trend, Kaifu said. (scientificamerican.com)
Archaic Homo Sapiens, with brains similar in size to modern man, but with larger faces and bodies, first appeared 500,000 years ago. (japaninc.com)
Humans have evolved an average brain volume about four times that of chimpanzees, and have among the largest brains relative to body size of any living animal. (esrf.fr)
In addition to these size differences, crucial organisational differences distinguish human and chimpanzee brains. (esrf.fr)
By ratio to body size, humans have the largest brains of any animal and excel at a variety of movement patterns. (borntomove.com)

In the Middle Pleistocene, brain size averaged about 1,200 cubic centimetres (cc), comparable to modern humans. (wikipedia.org)
So, Stringer assigned them to Homo sapiens sensu lato ("in the broad sense"), as ancestral to modern humans and Neanderthals. (wikipedia.org)
All modern humans are Homo sapiens-sapiens . (thuto.org)
Trinkaus and Shipman indicate that Virchow's diagnosis was inaccurate, because people with rickets are undernourished and calcium-poor, causing their bones to be weak and bend due to the weight of the body, whereas the bones of Neanderthals were much thicker than those of modern humans, suggesting that the individuals were not weak but athletic and muscular. (grisda.org)
Neanderthals are usually classified as Homo sapiens neanderthalensis , a subspecies of humans, owing to distinctive differences such as heavy brow ridges, a long low skull, a robust skeleton, and others. (grisda.org)
Body-mass estimates, however, are greater than those for other ancient and modern humans. (grisda.org)
A paper in PNAS this week by Harvard scientist Chris Organ and his colleagues examines the relationship between molar tooth size and time spent eating amongst humans and other extant primates. (thenakedscientists.com)
The longitudinal proportions of this region are a major source of anatomical variation among adult humans and, being much larger in Homo sapiens , is the main characteristic differentiating human midsagittal brain morphology from that of our closest living primate relative, the chimpanzee. (karger.com)
This result further supports the hypothesis that precuneus expansion in modern humans is not merely a consequence of increasing brain size or of allometric scaling, but rather represents a species-specific morphological change in our lineage. (karger.com)
Humans are one of the few surviving species with such a large brain to body size ratio. (sciencedaily.com)
It doesn't prove they have homosexual desire in any way parallel with humans. (str.org)
That is not just because a new species has been added to the Homo family of which humans are the sole living members, but because of the record number of fossilised bones found in the cave, including those of at least 15 infants, children, adults and elderly individuals. (universityworldnews.com)
While all humans belong to the same species, Homo sapiens, races are distinguished from one another by such characteristics as hair color and texture, skin color, eye color and shape, size of limb and body parts, and facial organs. (allaboutpopularissues.org)
First, modern humans exhibit a range in brain sizes, and those differences do not correlate with intelligence. (uniqueoriginresearch.org)
CONCLUSIONS: The comparison between the size of the eye ball in human and Rhesus monkey, unlike other measured parameters, did not differ much, and this indicates that the volume ratio of the eye ball to the whole skull in Rhesus monkey is higher than that of humans. (bvsalud.org)

It was formally described the next year by German anthropologist Otto Schoetensack, who made it the type specimen of a new species, Homo heidelbergensis. (wikipedia.org)
Slate concludes that there's no way of knowing who would win this battle but cautions that against other potential enemies-such as Homo heidelbergensis , who grew more than seven feet tall and had a tendency towards cannibalism, or Paranthropus boisei , who is described as "a gorilla head on a human body"-a human's odds likely wouldn't be quite as high, regardless of wit and training.

is a human ancestor, we find support for gradual neural reorganisation of the orbitofrontal region in the transition from Australopithecus to Homo , but little support for gradual brain enlargement before the transition to Homo . (esrf.fr)

Yet the remains were found in association with sophisticated stone tools and the use of fire, suggesting that the "hobbits," as these new hominids have inevitably been nicknamed, were every bit as advanced as Homo sapiens (our own species of human) at the time. (beliefnet.com)
The hobbits' dwarfism is quite unlike that of the African pygmies, whose brain size is comparable to the rest of Homo sapiens. (beliefnet.com)
Alternatively, the hobbits' prowess and abilities may have been overstated, and they may instead represent a case of evolution selecting for declining intelligence in favor of smaller body mass. (beliefnet.com)
It's even possible that Hobbits bumped into, and bred with, the enigmatic Denisovans - a sister group to Neanderthals - who may have inhabited parts of Southeast Asia at the same time as Hobbits and Homo sapiens . (econintersect.com)

By the time of the Boxgrove horse butchers, their ancestors had been making it to roughly the same design - hand-sized, sharp, double-sided, rounded - for about a million years. (fee.org)
Cooking is what makes the human diet 'human,' and the most logical explanation for the advances in brain and body size over our ape ancestors," Wrangham says. (harvard.edu)
The use of stone tools and fire would have allowed our ancestors to chew softer food in smaller bite size, thus relaxing the selective pressures to keep a large dentition and a robust lower jaw. (ljmu.ac.uk)
Another key reason is because the bodies appear to have been intentionally deposited in the cave by our early ancestors, although such a gesture of respect to the dead had been thought to be solely a more recent human attribute. (universityworldnews.com)
66], It is largely unclear when human ancestors lost most of their body hair. (lilyrozestudios.com)
We'd been searching for the remains of the ancestors of the first Australians: early Homo sapiens dispersing through the Indonesian archipelago to Australia. (econintersect.com)

Some scientists believe that the differences are significant enough to justify the classification of Neanderthals as a separate species, Homo neanderthalensis . (grisda.org)
[8] This combination of short stature and high body-mass suggests that Neanderthals were very stocky and robust. (grisda.org)
Homo sapiens probably has a longer reach, on average, than Neanderthals did, and more stamina . (smithsonianmag.com)
Second, if we were to judge intelligence based on brain size, Neanderthals would be smarter than us since their average brain sizes were more than average human brain sizes. (uniqueoriginresearch.org)

Modern Homo sapiens evolved about 200,000 years ago, which means our species is less than 0.01 percent the earth's age. (japaninc.com)

Proximal foot phalanx of a Homo luzonensis individual known as CCH4, showing the longitudinal curvature of the bone. (org.in)
The statistical comparisons made in the newly published research , led by Florent Détroit of the Musée de l'Homme, highlight a rather odd assortment of features in Homo luzonensis . (org.in)
Again, while the Hobbit might have prepared us philosophically for yet more radical discoveries, the case for Homo luzonensis needs to be judged solely on its merits. (org.in)

In these small populations, built-in human variety revealed itself in large regional differences in brain size and body form, with no discernible difference in intelligence, cultural prowess, or spiritual sensitivity. (answersingenesis.org)
In the current shape analysis, we examine precuneus variation in non-human primates through landmark-based models, to evaluate the general pattern of variability in non-human primates, and to test whether precuneus proportions are influenced by allometric effects of brain size. (karger.com)
Results show that precuneus proportions do not covary with brain size, and that the main difference between monkeys and apes involves a vertical expansion of the frontal and occipital regions in apes. (karger.com)

The temporal bone, which protects the hearing and balance organs, is one of the most complex bones in the body. (boneclones.com)

The same was also true of the rest of the body, with the Hobbit having very different limb proportions to us. (econintersect.com)

Such a small brain volume from a relatively late example is inconsistent with the notion of gradual brain enlargement amongst australopiths and across the transition to Homo . (esrf.fr)

The first example is how writers interpret skull size. (uniqueoriginresearch.org)
I suspect these people may find the small skull size more significant than the behavior, or they have some other driving motivation for discounting it. (uniqueoriginresearch.org)
The two opposing views must argue that either (a) behavior does not correlate with intelligence because skull size trumps everything, or (b) behavior correlates with intelligence and skull size doesn't matter. (uniqueoriginresearch.org)

Their evolutionary path likely contributed to the emergence of Homo sapiens and the development of more advanced cognitive abilities. (ancient-origins.net)

For instance, the canine and premolar teeth looked primitive, whereas the molar teeth looked advanced, or as if they had emerged later in the evolution of Homo sapiens , the scientists said. (scientificamerican.com)
All else being equal, scientists would have expected several species of Homo to coexist. (beliefnet.com)
Though scientists have reached the conclusion that these differences amongst peoples are superficial and have further agreed that all members of the species Homo sapiens have more characteristics in common than different, mankind itself continues to view each other from the features that are outwardly perceived.

Much has been made of the correlation between homosexual desire and certain physical anomalies: size differences in neurons in the anterior hypothalamus (LeVay), unique "tags" on the genetic code (Hamer), incidence of homosexuality among twins (Bailey and Pillard), etc. (str.org)

He split this off as a new species primarily because of the mandible's archaicness-in particular its enormous size-and it was the then-oldest human jaw in the European fossil record at 640,000 years old. (wikipedia.org)

Homo sapiens are known to have occupied Indonesia for at least 20,000 years, and must have passed through it to reach Australia at least 50,000 years ago. (beliefnet.com)

First, the observation is flawed because it assumes that erotic behavior in other mammals is the same as homosexual desire in human beings. (str.org)

Evolution of early Homo: an integrated biological perspective. (anthropogeny.org)
In dead individuals, the anthropological examinations have been performed to determine the biological profile in skeletonized, decomposing, mutilated and charred bodies attempting to decrease an universe of search for human identification in addition to contribute for the determination of the causa mortis, identification of the instrument or modus operandi or other circumstances that caused the death. (bvsalud.org)

Findings support the association between technological developments in Homo and reduction in incisor size and mandibular corpus robusticity, though not for premolar, molar size, and symphyseal robusticity. (ljmu.ac.uk)

Also intriguingly, the skeletons of these individuals may have some traits that are Homo (human-like) and some that are australopithicine (more ape-like). (uniqueoriginresearch.org)

They were typically around 30-50kg, stood 1-1.5 metres tall, and had brain sizes around one-third the size of our own. (org.in)

In a sense, they would have looked a lot like chimpanzees but with smaller faces and front teeth and with upright bodies. (org.in)

At only a metre tall, with the brain the size of a chimp's and a host of anatomical features that harked back to a much earlier period in human evolution, it made no sense whatsoever. (econintersect.com)
A Neanderthal had a wider pelvis and lower center of gravity than Homo sapiens , which would have made him a powerful grappler. (smithsonianmag.com)

So long as Homo sapiens stood apart, biologically speaking, from the rest of the animal kingdom, this was not an issue. (beliefnet.com)

A better measure is the so-called encephalization quotient, or EQ, defined in terms of the ratio of brain mass to body mass. (beliefnet.com)

However, other researchers have argued the hobbit was really a modern human with microcephaly, a condition that leads to an abnormally small head, a small body and some mental retardation. (scientificamerican.com)

The reduction in dental size and mandibular robusticity is regarded as a major trend in human evolution, traditionally considered the result of the peculiar extra-oral food processing skills of Homo. (ljmu.ac.uk)
